a {second} babymoon - of sorts

Mothering six children is hard.  There have been (fleeting) moments lately where I have felt totally overwhelmed managing just the simple day to day needs of my family. 

I know they have all felt it too.

They know when their mother is only half listening... half loving... half meeting their needs.

It feels weird in a way to be juggling the emotional, physical and spiritual needs of teenagers while calming a screaming baby and handling the exhausting toll of breastfeeding and sleepless nights!!

 Dont get me wrong though.

I am loving this season of my life and feel incredibly blessed to even be in this position. 

I just need to find ways of handling it better.

I am incredibly grateful for an understanding and awesome husband who has seen my downward spiral and offered practical and loving support.

Including this amazing idea.

a second {mini} babymoon
(aka - milk making day)

I know right... awesome idea.

Today has been spent enjoying lavender baths... delicious coffee... sleep...  chocolate... blueberry muffins... sleep... scented candles.... favourite magazines... sleep... baby cuddles and a long overdue blog world catch up! 

All whilst listening to the rain

My baby sleeps, plays, giggles and feeds beside me.

I put dinner on while I made breakfast so even that is sorted.... 
All I have to do now is get up long enough to pick up my children from school
  

hubby even popped home from work with a special treat for morning tea... so blessed

Already feeling rejuvenated
